Bug#565462: /usr/bin/update-manager: Stalls after checking for updates

[Gordon Brown]

Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.0-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/update-manager

After Clicking check to look for updates it seems to download the necessry information but then appears to go in to a loop and does not continue to show possible updates.  Instead the checking for updates window remains with progress bar showing as if still active.  Unamle to close update-manager without killing the process.

Synaptic Package manager, apt-get and aptitude will update correctly.

Also the lock preventing 2 package managers is not active when update-manager stalls allowing other package managers to work.
